Yes, I see you. I recognize that you’re a thinking, feeling person, and I’m here to listen.” That’s the essence and magic of meditation—the gift of telling yourself that you matter and that you’re worth time and attention. No pomp. No circumstance. Norules. Just showing up for yourself with compassion and without judgment. When this is your practice, meditation can serve as a mirror and the lighthouse that leads you home.

Can’t stop thinking about if ASOIAF was written like 100 years before it actually came out and the eventual 1950s Hollywood adaptation - they start with the Conquest. Katharine Hepburn is Visenya, Grace Kelly is Rhaenys, Laurence Olivier is Aegon. Pure Technicolor madness. It’s harder to make than Gone With The Wind.
EDIT: Ingrid Bergman is Rhaenyra idgaf. She needs a Daemon!

Las Vegas, February 19, 1959. Over KLAS-TV, Bali Hai Motel, and Howard Hughes Green House.
Bali Hai Hotel is in the center of the photo surrounded by KLAS-TV (left); Fulcher Rd aka Convention Center Dr (top); Sun Villa Apts on Fulcher Rd; a tree-lined block; Blair House Suites (right); and Desert Inn Road (foreground, lower right). In the mid 70s, KLAS relocated from the west side of Bali Hai to the east side, and Channel 8 Drive was created. Bali Hai and Blair House were demolished in ‘89 during the widening of Desert Inn Road.
The residence known as the Howard Hughes Green House is far right on the corner of the tree-lined block. The house was sealed for years after Hughes used it as an office in ‘53. It remains in this location.
The home was built by James “Jimmie” Fulcher circa ‘49-50, possibly a model home for a planned development. The house was leased by Hughes in ‘53, and later bought by Hughes.
Paul Winn, former Hughes exec., writing to Vintage Las Vegas in 2022:
“Hughes used the house as an office during the daytime when he was in Vegas in ‘53, working from there when he established the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Hughes never watched any movies in this house, and he never entertained any famous ladies here either.”
“I was Executive Assistant to Bill Gay, later President of Summa Corporation. Bill Gay sealed up the house with tape. After [Hughes Chief Exec.] Robert Maheu was removed from power I came to Vegas many times with Bill; he and I checked the green house frequently to make sure it had not been broken into. I was the first one in this house after the death of Hughes. I made an inventory of the contents, which was not a lot. Randy Hunter and I broke up the concrete floor in one room because a metal detector indicated something which we thought might be a safe - it was not. I know a great deal about the history of this house and my signature is on the deed when it was sold to Landmark Communications.”
“I worked for years with Kay Glenn, who was in charge of Hughes’ Operations Office. Kay was here in Vegas with Hughes during the ‘53 period when he worked from the green house. Kay has told me many times that Hughes never spent a night in the green house. He maintained a suite at the Flamingo at that time. The green house was leased from the Fulchers [James S and Beatrice Fulcher], along with some adjacent property. In about ‘73/‘74 Summa Corporation purchased the leased Fulcher property. I sold the remainder of the Fulcher property to Stanley Korman, who built the Bank of America building on Convention Center Drive.”
